(1) False, lots of energy is actually produced from nuclear fuel, if we didn't get much then we probably wouldn't use it
(2) False, its burning coal that contributes to acid rain, since it contains sulfur
(3) False again, we can control the reaction with aptly named control rods, which are typically made of boron, to absorb some of the neutrons flying around in the chain reaction
(4) True, radioactive waste is very difficult to dispose of, and is also very dangerous. Sources of radiation can remain so for millions of years
Global warming will cause see levels to rise since a lot of water is stored in ice sheets which will melt. All of the melt water will end up in the ocean causing sea levels to rise.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer: option <span>A) increases from bottom to top within the group.
Explanation:
</span>It is a known trend that the metallic character of the elements increase from let to right and from top to bottom.
The greater the metallic character the greater the reactivity of the metal.
So, the elements of the columns 1 and 2 are the most reactive metals and among them the elements at the bottom are yet more reactive.
<span>The higher reactivity of the metals that are lower in the periodic table is attributed to the greater total number of electrons.
The greater the total number of electrons the more reactive the metals
as their outermost electrons (the valence electrons which are those that react) are located further from the nucleus and therefore they are held less
strongly, which makes them react more easily.</span>
Answer:
How does methane gas affect the environment?
If methane leaks into the air before being used — from a leaky pipe, for instance — it absorbs the sun's heat, warming the atmosphere. For this reason, it's considered a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide.
Explanation:
Answer:
Carbon
Explanation:
Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).
It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.
